Optically levitated nanomechanical resonators in vacuum perform ultrahigh sensitivity for mechanical quantities by overcoming the limitations of clamped resonators. However, the generally levitated silica nanoparticles (NPs) with low absorption and high transparence still face difficulties surviving in high vacuum with unclear reason. By monitoring the physicochemical properties like scattering, mass and density of amorphous silica NPs during pumping process. we propose that the loss of NPs may arises from the motional instability induced by laser heating lead releasing at low pressure. In this work, two types of NPs are heat treated from 100 to 1200 degree Celsius to release impurities before being loaded into an optical trap. The high vacuum levitation ratio for both NPs increase obviously after heat treatment. In particular, for NPs heated to 600 degree Celsius, the ratio strikingly improves from ~30% to 100% and ~0 to 85% for two types of NPs. The loss mechanism is further confirmed by their relatively stable physicochemical parameters during pumping process. This work paves a way for wide application of levitated nano-resonators and indicates that levitated vacuum optomechanical systems could be a promising tool for dynamics and in-situ studying of small particles like aerosols and dusts. |
